In the comments following this great piece by Hutch Carpenter about 2010 trends, someone relevantly drawn our attention on the importance of integration. I agree and would like to sum up some ideas about all the integration challenges which are much wider than we can usually think.

Enterprise 2.0’s weakness ? Decision
December 29th, 2009 · View Comments · Recommended Bookmarks
Let’s assume that, through a mix a community management and socio-collaborative management, businesses manage to make information and people for identifiable and accessible in order to facilitate and accelerate workaday execution, solve problems and invent tomorow’s products and operating models. Even if that sounds seducing, there’s something wrong in the reasonning.
All these dynamics and informations [...]

Enteprise 2.0 : what to expect in 2010 ? The year of “uncrokment”.
December 15th, 2009 · View Comments · enterprise 2.0
A quick look at my predictions for 2009 makes me say that I was not so far from truth even if it took time for things to shift. In my opinion, the tipping point between 2008 and 2009 was the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston and things accelerated at the San Francisco Conference and then [...]

What does social software bring ? Nothing by itself (contrary to many others, a social app doesn’t process or treat anything but allow people to do things…) but since it makes some things more easy to do it should, in principle, help to improve performance and productivity for many kind of tasks provided people understand [...]

Community management Vs Socio-Collaborative management : how to make the right choice
November 17th, 2009 · View Comments · Communication, Communities, HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, Social Networking, social computing
I already wrote how dangerous it was to use community management for every kind of purpose, and that instead of seing communities everywhere (which need community managers), enterprises have to learn to recognize groups who only need a “simple” manager who’s doing his job right.
Using social platforms in the context of teamwork has a purpose [...]

Enterprise 2.0 case studies says “it’s possible”…and nothing more
November 6th, 2009 · View Comments · IT, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
As usual, when a hange that’s both organizational and technological happens, everyone is looking for case studies to be convinced. But as the first solid cases come about social media, it looks like doubt remains, that cases are not close enough to people’s concerns to convince them. How many times can we hear “they don’t [...]

You want your employees to be more “social” ? Rely on their selfishness
November 3rd, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
Among all the projects that have a “2.0 label”, it’s possible to make a distinction between those that are mainly about social networkings and those that aim at bringing traditional office applications on the cloud. Each kind addresses specific needs and has its own barriers. In one case it’s about changing the way people work, [...]

Your indicators say that your online communities are very busy ? So what ?
October 20th, 2009 · View Comments · Communities, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
When a social media project is launched, whether internal or external, it’s often structured in groups or communities. What every project manager fear is to end with empty or moribund communties, so making them busy is an obvious goal from which indicators are drawn. This is pure logic. These indicators are linked to the the [...]

Which future for middle managers ?
October 1st, 2009 · View Comments · Human resources, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0, social computing
Among the subjects that are classified “sensitive” by many companies, middle management is not one of the least. It’s easy to understand that the latter will be widely impacted by the emergence of networked ,”unintermediarized” organizations, what brings legitimate fears. Companies fear the consequences of mid-managers fears and reaction and want to preserve the internal [...]
